🥾Hike to this amazing 130-foot natural sandstone bridge tucked away just outside Escalante, Utah, within Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument. 🏞️The Escalante Natural Bridge trail is a short and scenic 2.2-mile (3.5 km) round-trip hike that follows the Escalante River through cottonwood groves, sandy banks, and canyon walls, with several crossings through the Escalante River along the way. 🐾It’s mostly flat, dog-friendly, and a great way to experience the beauty of Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument without venturing too far off the beaten path. 🏜️Escalante and the surrounding monument are located in southern Utah, between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks—an ideal base for exploring some of the state’s most breathtaking landscapes. #escalanteutah #grandstaircasenationalmonument #utahhikes #hikingwithdogs #dogfriendlyhikes #naturalbridge #utahadventures #scenicbyway12 #southernutah #utahroadtrip #exploreutah #visitutah #rvlife #deserthiking #hikingreels #roadtrip #travelutah #rv #girlswhohike #besthikes #utahhiking #utahhikes
